The association connects with a network of more than 60,000 park and recreation professionals and advocates across urban and rural settings, spanning public spaces. Based in Ashburn, Virginia, NRPA serves public agencies, nonprofits, and advocates nationwide as a resource and hub for the field. A recent development includes a 2026 partnership with SCORE Sports to support park and recreation agencies in youth sports programming.
